The Jamaica Plain Forum

Morgan Parker lit up the stage last night reading from her new book, Magical Negro!! THANK YOU for the collaboration Papercuts J.P. , for the lovely introduction Print Ain't Dead and to the beautiful audience that joined this raw and inspirational poetry reading!

"I really wanted to rethink that trope because you never get to know those characters and their interior lives or anything like that. They're there to serve a purpose. And I wanted to reimagine the black experience as having much more agency than that." -Morgan Parker
